Before Ning Bei could calm down, something even more miraculous happened. From the moment the girl's Spirit Awakening was complete, all the non-human features of her body began to slowly disappear, gradually transforming her into a young woman with long, dark green hair.
The girl opened her eyes and curiously looked at her hands, then touched her face.
"I... I've become human? I'm not a monster anymore?"
The girl shed tears of excitement, which Ning Bei couldn't stop no matter how much he tried to comfort her. One could only imagine how much she had suffered over the years.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the girl slowly regained her composure. She knelt down in front of Ning Bei, her head touching the ground.
"Thank you, Lord, for granting me a reborn body."
Ning Bei quickly helped the girl up and shook his head at her.
"I didn't transform you. That's just a natural phenomenon after your Spirit Awakening."
The girl shook her head, refusing to get up from the ground no matter what.
"If you hadn't awakened my Spirit for me, no Spirit Master would have paid attention to me, a monster. How could I even talk about Spirit Awakening?"
Ning Bei sighed and stopped dwelling on the issue. He took out a crystal ball from his Soul Tool.
"Let's put that aside for now and test your Innate Soul Power."
The girl looked at Ning Bei with some confusion, unsure of what to do.
Ning Bei wasn't in a hurry and slowly explained some common knowledge about Spirit Masters to her.
"So, now just put your hand on the crystal ball and inject Soul Power into it."
The girl nodded and did as Ning Bei instructed.
Before long, the crystal ball was filled with Soul Power.
"Full Innate Soul Power!"
The girl looked at the surprised Ning Bei, feeling somewhat at a loss.
"L-Lord, is there a problem?"
Ning Bei came back to his senses, his eyes looking at the girl as if he had found a treasure.
"There's no problem. Full Innate Soul Power means you're a genius."
"Genius?"
"That's right. Your talent is higher than anyone in this Endless Blue Sea City. It means that no one will bully you anymore in the future."
"Really?"
The girl's eyes lit up, clearly imagining a bright future.
Then, she seemed to think of something, and her face showed a hint of nervousness.
"Then... then, Lord, can I follow you?"
"Oh? Why do you want to follow me? With your talent, you'll be snatched up wherever you go."
The girl hurriedly shook her head, seemingly afraid that Ning Bei would misunderstand something.
"I just want to follow you, sir. Without you, I would be stuck in Hague Village as a monster forever, being bullied by others."
Ning Bei looked at the girl's sincere expression and nodded with satisfaction, much better than some ungrateful wretches.
Little brat, don't look at others, I'm talking about you!
"Then you should become my disciple. Follow me back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and I will teach you how to cultivate and become a strong person."
Upon hearing Ning Bei's words, the girl was overjoyed and quickly knelt down again, kowtowing several times. She didn't care about becoming a strong person at all, as long as she could follow her benefactor.
"Greetings, Master."
Ning Bei accepted this bow with peace of mind, knowing that he would protect her in the future anyway.
After the simple ceremony, Ning Bei helped the girl up again.
"What's your exact age?"
"12 years old."
"12 years old? That's a bit late!"
Ning Bei stroked his chin, looking at the girl in front of him, regretting that she had wasted six golden years. However, it wasn't too late. He could use his pills and Immortal Herbs to give her a boost.
Hearing Ning Bei's sigh, the little disciple was immediately thrown into confusion, thinking that the master she had just acknowledged didn't want her anymore.
"Master, I will cultivate hard, please don't abandon me."
Ning Bei knew at a glance that the girl had misunderstood, and playfully patted her head.
"Who said I was going to abandon you? It's just that you did waste some golden time for cultivation, so you may have to work twice as hard as others in the future."
"I will definitely work hard and won't let Master down."
Ning Bei nodded with satisfaction, thinking as long as she wasn't like those two lazybones at home.
"By the way, disciple, now that you have become my disciple, let me give you a name. My disciple can't be called a monster by others."
The girl nodded without objecting.
"How about Nami?"
"I'll leave it all up to Master. Disciple will listen to Master."
After shedding half of her Soul Beast appearance, the little girl looked incredibly beautiful, and she was also very obedient. Ning Bei was very satisfied with this disciple.
"Pack up and leave with me."
"Yes, Master."
Nami packed up quickly, and soon she had bundled her worn clothes into a package. After putting it on her back, she happily came to Ning Bei, her eyes filled with a hint of anticipation, showing that she didn't want to stay in this broken place for even a day longer.
Looking at the girl with the package on her back, Ning Bei cursed himself for being careless and quickly took out a beautiful bracelet from his Soul Tool.
"I forgot to give you a gift for becoming my disciple. This is a Storage Bracelet. You can put items in it by activating it with Soul Power."
Nami quickly shook her head.
"Master, this is too precious, I can't accept it."
Although she didn't know the specific value, just looking at the gorgeous design and the master's introduction of its function, she knew it was expensive.
Ning Bei didn't care whether she accepted it or not, and directly took Nami's little hand and put the Storage Bracelet on it.
"Since it's given to you, just keep it. A gift from an elder cannot be refused."
Seeing that his disciple still intended to decline, Ning Bei's eyes turned cold.
"If you take it off, I don't want you anymore. Just stay in this broken village!"
Nami immediately stopped taking off the bracelet and nodded quickly, indicating that she accepted it.
Ning Bei led Nami out of the village, buying some daily necessities and clothes for her along the way, and also gave her some Gold Soul Coins. They wouldn't be going back for a while, and she might need to live alone for a few days.
Back at the hotel, Ning Fengzhi and Sword and Bone were a little puzzled when they saw the little girl behind him.
"Bei'er, who is this?"
"Father, this is a disciple I took in a nearby village, named Nami."
"Nami, these are my father and two grandpas, you can call them Grandmaster and Grand Ancestor."
Upon seeing this, Nami was about to come forward and prostrate herself, but Ning Bei, with quick eyes and hands, grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her up.
"Just bow. As my disciple, you are not allowed to kneel to anyone in the future, understand?"
Nami, whose neck of fate was pinched, nodded timidly, fearing that she would offend the big shots.
After hearing the introduction, Ning Fengzhi and the others were indeed a little puzzled, not understanding what was so special about the girl in front of them, who was clearly over 12 years old and not a Soul Master, that Ning Bei valued.
Ning Bei obviously understood what they meant and introduced his disciple.
"Nami, Spirit is Tidecaller, a genius with Innate Full Soul Power."
"What?"
Gu Rong looked at the girl beside Ning Bei in surprise and began to re-examine her.
Nami nervously pinched her skirt, fearing that she would be disliked by the elders.
"Bei'er, hasn't she obtained a Spirit Ring yet?"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, Ning Bei patiently explained what had happened, and the three of them understood what was going on.
"It's a bit of a pity, a lot of time has been wasted in vain, but the potential is still worth affirming."
Ning Fengzhi sighed slightly, thinking that it would have been great if they could have discovered Nami earlier.
"Let's not mention the past. I plan to train Nami well. When she is chasing after them, Rongrong and Xiao Wu, those two lazy girls, will also work harder."
Thinking of those two at home, Ning Fengzhi and the others nodded in agreement, that was the truth.
